Tour updates 7/9

I feel funny posting pictures of other people's yarn without their direct permission but I do it when I find them on flickr and they're "bloggable" (copyrighted but not restricted) and I give full credit. I think I'm in the clear. If not please let me know. But I beg you, could you resist this yarn? I didn't think so.

I'm back from San Diego and just now got caught up with today's cycling stage as well as with my own spinning. I plied more yarn and will be able to do some dying tomorrow on our first "rest day." Oh! (singing) And I'm going to ship the yarn I sold on Friday! (end singing) I also plan on organizing a photo shoot outside my apartment to show off all the things I've been working on. One never rests really, does one?

I have a couple of updates from other Tour de Fleece spinners to share. Bitibis has some lovely mill ends dyed with kool aid totaling 230 yards! Impressive! Misshawklet also has some pretty yarn. (as you can see in the photo) They look like soft singles and their beauty makes me want to cry. You can see all of it on the Craftster board.

About Me

ABOUT ME: I have contributed both articles and patterns to a number of places in print and online, including Knitscene, Interweave Knits, Vogue, knitty, Ravelry, and the books "Knitting Socks From Around the World", "Joy of Sox," and “Expectant Little Knits”. In 2007, I was a guest on diy’s knitting TV show “Knitty Gritty”. I started the annual online spin-along, The Tour de Fleece in 2006 to spin yarn along with the Tour de France. I’m especially proud of the ribbons I won for homespun yarn at the LA County Fair in 2006 and 2007. I love the way a big fair can combine excellence in craft with deep fried Oreos on a stick. I also teach sock design and other knitting classes at yarn shops and events like Sock Summit.
